    Abstract

    Natural gamma ray spectroscopy has changed little in 30 years. Simulations, laboratory scale models, and field experiments all demonstrate that the natural gamma ray spectrum recorded during borehole drilling can be used to track changes in heavy element concentrations with the Heavy Mineral Index, and it correlates well with iron-rich zones. This research creates a basis for a new generation of safe logging-while-drilling tools plus changes the analysis of airborne radiometrics in the future.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
